Short Talk 132 (Listen and Read)

Good evening everyone, this is Elizabeth Bows, from the Plain City with breaking news.

An announcement was made this afternoon that the skate park will remain closed for the rest of the summer.

Mayor Rathburg told the public that several ramps were loose, and the wood was beginning to splinter.

Thanks to donations and local taxes, the skate park is scheduled to get a complete renovation,

with two additional ramps being built.

Local schools are encouraged to use this park as a field trip location.

To help with the renovation, you are able to purchase a pass online for when the park reopens in September.

You can also enter to win a free season pass,

as the city will be giving out four free memberships.
